  • -  "Blue Earth Bathymetry is an edited version of GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans), a public domain dataset that combines ocean bottom and land elevation data of the entire world. Because GEBCO derives from a mix of sources and contains unsightly artifacts, I created Blue Earth as a smoother alternative for making small-scale maps. It is available as a free GeoTIFF DEM from which you can render seafloor maps much like those shown above. Blue Earth Bathymetry replaces CleanTOPO2, a similar product derived from less accurate sources that I released in 2006."--shadedrelief.com ; viewed on August 28, 2024.
